Term of the Month - Cold Case [ [link removed] ]

How do we define a cold case, and how can criminal justice research clear more cases?

The term ?cold case? is typically used by law enforcement to describe a criminal case that has remained unsolved for an extended period with no fresh investigative leads to be pursued. The length of time before a case is officially classified as a cold case differs from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and the timeframe can depend on the seriousness of the crime. Arizona, for example, defines a cold case as any crime that remains unsolved after a year, while Los Angeles classifies homicides that have gone unsolved for five years or more as cold.
